"It's not every day you get to GIVE" - @knaanstagram #TakeAMinute I decided to help promo a @lawndalecardinals @lawndalehighschool #OpenMic event I'm hosting since me and a English teacher there were brainstorming ideas to get more students excited to share their poetry. On the selfish side, it was fun to shoot it, edit it, and put it up on my YouTube channel in just a day or two. A day or TWO. I've been wanting to post so many more things and I'm always surprised that when we as humans get asked to help or do something for a greater good, we can step up in the most beautifully simple or urgently huge ways. On the selfless side, this video was seen by hundreds of students in a number of English classes so they can be inspired to come to the open mic and either share thenselves or support their classmates. Can't wait to see them surprise themselves with the power, fun, and beauty of their own voices and stories. So, now, I invite you to feel free to step up today. Is there something you've been meaning to do...? What can make you do it today...? What is the thought or action or belief in yourself that can honestly help you start it and maybe even finish it right NOW. Make it simple. Make it honest. Make sure you know you're helping someone out by doing it, I bet, even if it's making you a more complete person so you can show up for others in your life as someone who has CLOSURE. If you post the thing you're working on or started today below, I'll send you a playlist of my favorite inspirational videos. You can already find it on my YouTube channel under "Daily Inspiration" at LetsBendReality, but I'll take the work out for ya since you may even need motivation to even do that...! Please know...you influence and impact so many others every single day...whether or not you know it...I'm asking if you ENJOY having that influence, and if not...do you want to enjoy it...? #YouAreAForce #YouAreBeauituful #NotACompliment #LetsBendReality (at Barnes & Noble) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxil59vAnr-/?igshid=1kb9xr37tisl8
